Mr. Summers enthusiasm was felt by representa-
tiyes Of all tho great Western States. All of them
agreed that the work done In the convention would I'M

impetus such could be obtained from other

TELLING KtfECrS To BIZ FELT IN THE SOUTH
But perhaps the most telling effects Of the meeting
will DO felt in tho South AS every ono knows, the
sentiment In favor of obtaining fair count Of tho
next year in every State on tho other side OF
Mason and Dixons line Is rapidly crysallzng in way
that alarms the Democratic leaders, to whom the
thought Of having their fraudulent methods nterfered
with has long been foreign But now that Repub-
oan League has boon formed with branches in every
State and ultimately In every county Of the South,
they begin to that there is possibility of fair
play oven in Dixie.
No wonder, them that the Southern delegates went
homo eated with what they had heard and In the
convention this matter as we'll as upon the ques-
ton Of the tariff There is doubt that the outlook
for the Republican party in tho South was never so
promising as at present The reasons Tor inns "ero
set forth by Colonel Daniels Ct the Virginia dele
CATION some Of whose remarks apply to other South
ern States besides his own. In commenting on what
the effects Of the convention would be In the South
the Colonel, before starting home yesterday, said:
"Thcre has been great progress In the political ed
ucatOn Of the rising generation in my state. Twenty
years Of free schools have brought up class OF
intelligent young men, Many of these are cmancipa-
ed from the supersttlons Of BourbonIsm. They arc
not satisfied with its stale and WORKOUT patitudcs
They want to have Virginia redeemed from Uarbansm
and incrority, and placed In fact whore nature has
placed her in natural resourcesin the front ranhs OF
industry and commerce. They know that their won
derfu mines, forests and water powers Will DO worth
less under tho policy Of Free Trade. SO they have
become Intelligent Protectionists in a large measure
They for the party that gives education to the
people and encouragement to homo industry co they
elected to Congress year ago out Of tho ten
The electoral vote OF Virginia can
always DO carried against freetrAde BOuroon Dc
mOcracy In fair election, and believe, from what ]
have seen In this convention, that we shall get fair
count next year"
A NETWORK MANS SENTIMENTS
How the young mon and Republicans generally OF
SNe East have been stirred up by the convention was
IS p.sSidcnt of the Young Mems Republican Club of
NO could have prophcsied such gathering"
said 10, whom the call first issued The effect Of
It will DO far-reachlng. 1t Will put new life in tho
organizations ALREADY formed and Will call thousands
into existence from Maine to Texas. The enthusiasm
on the surface shows that the kettle IS boiling Tho
mission Of the clubs IS to impart enthusiasm and
cure better organization. The County Committees
and State Leagues can furnish leaders and generals
but the CLUBS Will give the fighting material By their
They can be, as 1t we're, the nerve lines of tho
political system This convention puts now force
into activity and ono flexible and spon that
there is danger OF It's dying through -organlza
ton Its power lies In the fact that 1t is mid~ be-
tween a mass meeting and a convention, and In this
way IL appeals M every one and reaches the heart OF

The K-FUnLiCAv OUTLOOK IN KENTUCKY.
W. G. Dunlap of Kentucky, gave the following hope
tul account Of tho Republican outlook In his State
"Republicanlsm in Kentucky is growing Is taking
On q more vigorous aggressive life than ever before
Tbs Can. palgn for Governor In August last was tho
most thorough the State has witnessed since tho war
As q result majority OF 81 600 for Cleveland and
Hendricks in 1884 was reduced to II 900 for General
smlon Bolivar Buckner, over the bold and eloquent
Republican candidate, Colonel william o. Bradley, In
August, 1887.
@Alrc ldy those who watch closely the political In
elnations confidently claim Kentucky az a doubtful
State In 1885, while tho moro sangune are looking for
ard with bright hopes to the overthrow Of tho Ken
lucky idea' so earnestly advocate by Mr. Waterson
and his confrores and voiced by President Cleveland
in his recent message. Various causes combine to
give for this growing confidence, among which
should 30 classed the great Increase Of manufacturing
industries within the State, tho deeper interest taken
by the young men of the Commonwealth In the polit
cal questions OF the day, while another mighty factor
10 DO considered Is the profound reverence remaining
for tho broad and patriotic teachings OF Clay, Crtcn
den Prentice and their colaborers OF tho days before
the war. Agan-and not an influence to DO over
looked-is the great revolution going forward In the
States of Tennessee Alabama and west
Virginia with which Kentucky so closely associated
and with whose interests and new growth She Is 30
largely identified"
